How do I Meet Men in Memphis?

Memphis has more single women than single men.

According to the Evolutionary Psychology Journal, Memphis, Tennessee is one of the worst cities in the U.S. for single women to meet men, with 8.8 men for every 10 women.

Bars and Clubs

Memphis' night life centers on its music venues and bars, and that's where single men and women go to meet each other on weekend evenings. Don't forget sports bars, where single men are likely to hang out. Bars with an active social scene include Buccaneer, Celtic Crossing and Flying Saucer.

Coffee Shops

Coffee shops provide a relaxed environment in which to meet single men and the quiet atmosphere makes it easy to have a conversation. Java Cabana is one coffee shop that occasionally hosts live music.

Churches

Many churches in Memphis have active singles groups, including Christ United Methodist Church, Germantown Baptist Church, and the Temple of Deliverance. These groups provide a non-threatening way to meet single men. Some of the churches also host groups for single parents.

Bookstores

Large bookstores in Memphis, such as Borders and Bookstar, often have coffee shops and lounge areas that can function as little social clubs. It's easy to approach a man who's reading an interesting book in a safe, comfortable environment.
